【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文，叙述的是我与狗Beans一次探索森林小径的经历。一天早上，我与Beans踏上了一条林中熟悉的小径，不久，Beans出于好奇，带领我踏上了一条我们从未走过的路，进而导致我们迷失了方向。最后，经过一番努力，我们终于幸运地走出了树林，在好心人的帮助下，我们回到家中。在故事的末尾，我若有所悟：此次迷路不应怪罪Beans，因为它可能知道回家的路，只是想探索一条新的路径。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones.It was a strange place.Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare．They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this place get its name? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.
“Of course！” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”
“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He built that cottage over there to live in.In those days, the area looked quite different－it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal－clear river.After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”
“‘You are clearing too much land’， warned one old man.‘the land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’
‘Silly fool’， said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened? ” Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back－just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom.“Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒)．The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom.Suddenly, they burst out laughing.Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face.It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis's Swamp名字的由来。
1．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．
A．courage   B．assistance
C．instruction   D．challenge
答案　D
解析　考查词义猜测。 由语境可知，他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。
2．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A．To frighten them.
B．To satisfy their curiosity.
C．To warn them of the danger of the place.
D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
答案　B
解析　考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。
3．Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A．The old man envied him.
B．The old man was foolish.
C．He was too busy to listen to others.
D．He was greedy for more crops.
答案　D
解析　考查细节理解。由第八段“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！”可知他想有更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，变得更富有，还认为老人在嫉妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。
4．Why did Tom scream and faint?
A．He saw Dennis's shadow.
B．He was scared by a plant.
C．His friends played a joke on him.
D．The weather became extremely cold.
答案　B
解析　考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。
5．What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A．Grasp all, lose all.
B．No sweat, no sweet.
C．It is no use crying over spilt milk.
D．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
答案　A
解析　考查推理判断。综观全文可知贪婪的Dennis因为其贪婪，结果失去了一切，故A项“贪多必失”，符合语境。
